New Orleans experienced a tragic mass casualty event as a vehicle plowed into a crowd on Canal and Bourbon Street, resulting in 15 fatalities and numerous injuries.
Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick labeled the driver as a 'terrorist,' particularly after an ISIS flag was found in the vehicle and authorities linked the suspect to extremist groups.
The FBI is treating the incident as an act of terrorism, indicating that the main suspect, a 42-year-old Army veteran, may not have acted alone and that there could be accomplices.
In response to the tragedy, President Biden expressed deep condolences and assured full federal support to New Orleans, emphasizing a commitment to respond to attacks motivated by extremism.
